Package: tin Version: 1:1.9.6~20100522-1 My news server does not implement CAPABILITIES. This results in tin trying to authenticate. (This is of course a bug in itself.)
When it tries to do this authentication, it prompts the user for a username and password and then uses AUTHINFO USER. However, I have NNTPAUTH set and my server uses AUTHINFO GENERIC. So tin should, if it wants to authenticate, do AUTHINFO GENERIC. This seems to be a regression of #85274. I will return to lenny's tin for now, but I'm happy to try versions from sid or experimental provided they build on squeeze.
